>>Mayuri Roy Choudhury: Sometimes I'm not heard because I'm a woman. Getting into this conference and learning how to deal with such situation and also like how to make my voice be heard, that is very important. And I learned that through these sessions with the women in Power System Transformation Program.

>>Chandinee Chandrasekaran: I think this program is great because we had various coffee chats with leading women in the sectors and inspirational to see their career journey, them talking about how they have come to this position, how fulfilling it has been for them. So it's been a very inspirational program.

>>Mahitha Pillodi: I think this will be a good starting point for me to start thinking how can I implement some kind of leadership activities in the work I'm doing, or how could I start being a leader. So I think this will be a great starting point for me for my career.
